I am taking 30 mg a day. I started June 12th. I've lost 27 pounds on phentermine in three months from 287 to 260 in addition to the 10 pounds lost in the 6 months before starting phentermine so a total of 37 pounds for the year. My height weight was 297 pounds.

Even on phentermine it is incredibly slow. My doctor says it is due to PCOS and insulin resistance. He plans to take me off of it after the holidays and said he didn't recommend more than 6 months at a time on it. I lose maybe 1-2 pounds a month with diet and exercise alone due to my health and it is a nightmare but since starting phen it's been 1-2 pounds a week. I tried everything from low carb to just calorie counting. Low carb was the one I tried the most because everyone says it is the best for PCOS women but I did not lose weight very easily sticking to a 20g of carbs diet despite what people told me. Right now moderate carbs under 100g a day (although can be in the 75 g to 125 g range depending) and keeping calories under 1400 is working along with the phentermine. I think I do need to watch carbs but not to an extreme extent. I eat a lot of veggies and some fruit.


I had some side effects the first few weeks but none currently. My blood pressure was 110/70 at my last visit. I don't always feel like I need to take it every day lately and it may potentially be due to starting Wellbutrin last month. I feel like I am no longer craving bad foods like sweets as much so it is a lot easier to stick to a calorie limit.

I have been taking phentermine since January 2014. I have lost about 70 pounds (my next weigh in at my docs is next week). It was the best decision I ever made, to start seeing my doctor. With the phentermine, myfitnesspal, diet and exercise my life has changed! I have about 20 more pounds I would love to lose and then it's working to maintain my weight. I eat lots of fiber, all-bran cereal in the morning, and drink lots of water to minimize the dry mouth and constipation that comes with taking phentermine. I also use a fitbit zip to monitor my activity levels. Good luck to everyone!!

I have been on phentermine 37.5 for about 3 weeks. I have lost 21 lbs in this time. I have completely changed the way I eat, i get in about 12 to 15,000 steps a day, and do a lot of walking. I have stopped drinking alcohol and have just become more aware of what I put into my body. About 4 years ago I lost 70 pounds working out and eating well. I've kept it off but developed thyroid problems which has made it hard for me to lose weight. I had been stuck at the same weight for about a year and decided to try phentermine. I know it gets a bad rap, but everyone's different. I've only had dry mouth and no other side affects, which I'm happy about. A lot of people say it doesn't help you change your lifestyle but honestly it has very much helped me. Although I'm never hungry, it has helped me make smaller healthier meals to eat throughout the day and I don't have any cravings at all. I'm extremely happy with my results so far, I'm about 18lbs away from my first goal, then onto the next!! Lots of luck to all who have decided to try phentermine. It only helps to see and try things out for yourself as everyone will always have something negative to say (unfortunately)

Feel free to friend me!

I went from 162 to 120 in eight months on Phen. Then I gained 20 pounds back, in a heartbeat!

I asked my diet doctor if I can take Garcinia Cambogia along with it. She said it is also a stimulant, but as long as I don't have problems it's okay. I never thought anything over the counter could work. The brand is 1234 if you're interested.

This is just like the early days of Phen. I dropped 4 pounds in a week taking that stuff.

My first time on Phentermine was in 2011 I took it on and off for about a year. I lost 85lbs. I gave up and gained it all back. Today is day two back on it and I ready to own it this time and keep it off.

so far 13 lbs in 2 weeks..

I'm down 21.2 lbs in 7 weeks. No side effects.. except for the day I accidentally took double the dose... Dont do that trust me..

24 lbs in 8 weeks

New to phen... day 3.

Day 18-Fifteen pounds down.

138 days. 45 pounds down! 60 to go. I haven't really lost anything in 4 weeks, though. I'm not sure exactly what's up with that. I might stop taking it soonish and see what happens. I was hoping to get to half before that. I'm trying some new things to see if it'll help.

Let me know how that goes for you. It's good to look ahead!

-14, 5 weeks in. My key to success is to meet my macros and try get at least 1100 calories/day in. It's hard when I can't remember to eat! ;-)

Good Morning!! I started this on April 21st and as of this morning, April 25, I am down 6.8lbs. I'm sooo excited and its giving me that extra umph I need to get going!!

Congrats! I had a similar loss, 6.5lbs in the first few days. Crazy awesome. Glad it's working well for you!!

Tomorrow will be my Day 1 on Phentermine. 6 years ago I was on it after my 1st baby and did good. I've got 50lbs to loose to get back to pre-baby stage. Then, hopefully I'll still be able to get down to a healthy range for my height. Fingers crossed! I will be eating 1500 calories/day, drinking lots more water, and exercising 30 minutes a day/5 days a week.
